<p class="level0">Pass a long as parameter. This allows you to specify the maximum <span Class="emphasis">size</span> (in bytes) of a file to download. If the file requested is found larger than this value, the transfer will not start and <span Class="emphasis">CURLE_FILESIZE_EXCEEDED</span> will be returned. 
<p class="level0">The file size is not always known prior to download, and for such files this option has no effect even if the file transfer ends up being larger than this given limit. This concerns both FTP and HTTP transfers.
